Mattias Ekström has continued his impressive string of podium places. In round five of the FIA World Rallycross Championship in Hell, Norway, Ekström finished third. This means that across the series he competes in, the DTM and rallycross campaigner took podium finishes on six consecutive weekends. This further success means that Ekström and his privateer team, EKS, have defended their lead of the drivers’ and teams’ standings in the World Rallycross Championship. Round six of the season will be held at Höljes. In his home round, the Swede has triumphed in the two past years.
